I’m excited to announce the publication of my newest article featuring the talented Barbara Stanwyck! She is the second installment in my actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and I must say that this actress truly stands alone. She was not considered a “traditional” Hollywood beauty, but her dedication to the quality of her performances is unquestionable. A woman of true grit but compassion for others around her, Stanwyck was a favorite with her fellow castmates and crew members. I hope you enjoy my article, “Barbara Stanwyck: The Orphan from Brooklyn.”
I have attached Medium’s Friend Link, allowing anyone to read the article, even if you do not have a membership. (For those of you interested though, a Medium membership is only $5.00 a month).

Hey, y’all! Check out my new article below! The Salem Witch Trials were a dark chapter in Colonial American history, and women were dominantly the targets of accusation in the 1600s for various reasons. In this article, I discuss Puritan religion and its contribution to the paranoia and hysteria that led to the trials in Salem.
Happy Fall, Y’all!
There are new articles coming soon! I am kicking off this season with another “bad girl” of history, Margaret Stephenson Scott. Margaret was among the last to be tried as a witch in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 and was executed by hanging on September 22 (Colonial calendar). She was later pardoned of her crimes as an alleged witch. This will never undo the injustice she and others endured, but she can now be remembered with accuracy. As a descendent of Margaret Scott, I hope to represent her memory well within the chronicle of history in early America.
For you, Margaret Scott.
